Magician V Medium Experiment

Taking part in this event gave me one of the most profound experiences in the time I have been working as a medium for many different reasons.

Organised by Fright Nights, Hosted by Ciaran O'keefe and held at The Dragon Hall Covent Garden this experiment between Magician Peter Campbell -Wells and myself was not so much a versus but more of a demonstration of how cold reading by Peter and mediumship by myself are two totally separate processes.

I admit to feeling under pressure (who wouldn't!) for the event but those who know me also know that I am always ready for a challenge and so when I was invited to demonstrate at the event I could not refuse..
For me the importance of this demonstration is something that very much needed to be achieved and shown because as we mediums know only too well, we are constantly thought to use 'Cold Reading' techniques in place of genuine mediumship.

Peter gave a good demonstration of 'tricks of the mind' which have been suggested over the years are techniques used by mediums and psychics, and then I gave a demonstration of mediumship which was challenging to say the least.
However it soon became clear that the arising challenges gave the opportunity for me to show that a cold reader would have simply fitted seemingly misplaced information to anyone willing to take it rather than let a connection go if the right recipient could not be found.

Feedback from the public and the organisers clearly indicated that the afternoon had been a success in separating the two processes which was a great result. I am so pleased to have been a part of the experiment.

Spain and Gibraltar April 2009

Just returned from 10 days in Spain and Gibraltar having had a really great time even if the schedule was somewhat punishing at times!!
With 40ish 1-2-1's, 2 dems, a workshop, healing sessions and tutorials all done I finally landed back in the UK midnight on Wednesday evening. As always the people out there are so embracing of all things Spiritual so it's easy for Spirit to work well and as always it's nice to see old friends and new.
The sun actually came out and stayed out this time which was a miracle in the making!
Now I am looking forward to going out again in 2010 and big thanks to Frankie and Lourdes for putting in the time to organise such a busy schedule.

The main question now for me has to be 'How do I live without Tapas until then?' :) x

Hi All,
It's been a very busy 10 days with theatre evenings, journeys to The College of Psychic Studies in London for classes and 1-2-1's and I have travelled almost 1000 miles in that time.
A slightly 'hairy' situation occurred whilst travelling on the A1 to a dem at The Hawth in Crawley on Friday as we had a puncture so instead of a nice easy drive to avoid the Friday traffic at the Dartford Crossing, we spent most of that time huddled against the howling wind on the hard shoulder waiting for the RAC as the wheel was firmly stuck.
We arrived at the Theatre with 15 minutes to spare before the start of the Dem (no stress there then) but thankful that the traffic fairies and the RAC got us there at all!
That said it was a lovely night with lots of healing messages and laughter as always, so if you were there, thank you for being a great supportive audience.

If you were at the dem in Martham, Norfolk last night it was great to see old friends and new and a big shout for Norman, Jenny and team for running such an excellent evening. I was amazed at the number of people who attended the evening from Martham and surrounding villages and for the support for mediumship in that part of the world.
Thanks everyone and see you again next year!

Theatre Dem, Stevenage 18th March

A huge thank you to all who came along to support us at The Gordon Craig Theatre, Stevenage last night.It was great to see so many people supporting each other when messages were given even if they didnt have one themselves and that kind of generosity of spirit always makes me smile.
In the second half, for the first 20mins, I actually stepped back in time to a way I often used to work as a newly 'fledged' medium by asking audience members the relationship of someone they would love to hear from and then asking that spirit if they could join us and give us their evidence.
It was a very successful experiment and raised the atmosphere even higher than it was.
Tommorrow night I am looking forward to The South Holland Centre, Spalding where the DVD was filmed almost a year ago....hope to see you there.

Spain and Gibraltar April 2009

I cannot quite believe that it's coming around to that time of the year when I head off to dear old Gibraltar once again. I am always excited to go out there because there is such a need for mediumship in those parts and I am looking forward to seeing my lovely existing clients again as well as welcoming new ones.
Another exciting aspect of my visit this time is that I am working in Spain before Gibraltar, organised by my good friend Frankie Hatton, interviewer on my DVD. I shall be giving a Dem in Estepona, a workshop and 1-2-1's before going over to Gibraltar for a Dem and 1-2-1's.
Being very English I usually go dressed like a tourist but for every visit to date it has rained from the moment I get off the plane until the moment I get back on it - locals be warned, from 11-22nd April dont leave home without your brolly....

Details of this trip are available through the diary page on this site x

Solihul Dem 13th March

I just love working in the West Midlands! I have met some great people all over the UK and abroad but there is something very warm and welcoming about the folks from Brum and Friday evening at The Dovehouse Theatre Solihul was no exception.
As always, in an intimate setting the messages from Spirit came pouring through and althought there were a lot of new people to a demonstration of mediumship, they all seemed to join in with their enthusiasm!! Thanks everyone you were great..I am just getting ready to leave for a Dem at The Gordon Craig Theatre Stevenage tonight :) See you there! xx

Coberhill Seminar 2009

Once again this event was a huge success!!! There is something very special about spending a few days at The Coberhill Conference Centre with like minded people, living and breathing Spirit for 5 days away from the distractions of everyday life.
With a mixture of individual groups, workshops, demonstrations to name but a few programme events, a great time was had by all.

Our excellent Tutors, Jean Blackabee and Jay love bought their own special brand of magic to the seminar through their experience,their dedication and their humour, all bought together by Alexa, our wonderful course organiser.
The Tutors gave a joint demonstration of mediumship on the first evening, then a Victorian seance on the Tuesday evening, a student demonstration on Wednesday evening and Thursday evening was not for the faint hearted as the tutors cavorted around in a 'skit' for the students. A rendition of 'Blind Date' our titled offering 'Blind Faith' (see photos) unfolded the tale of a medium seeking a new Spirit Guide.

With Graham as the Medium and myself as the lovely Cilla, we attempted to pair him with one of our Spirit contestants, Jean aka Mystic Smog, Alexa as Sydneyrella Vicious (the punk Princess)and Jay as Madame Rupinda Patel, (a Victorian lady of the night) and chaos prevailed bringing a lighthearted final evening to a fabulous seminar.
We are now open for booking for The Spirit Experience Coberhill 2010,with Tutors Donna Stewart, Jay love and Maureen Murnan so make sure you secure your place as they are disappearing fast!!!
